International
Association for Travel Behaviour Research (IATBR) LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD Background: Travel Behaviour Research is
a cross-disciplinary field that draws concepts, methods and people from many
disciplines, including economics, psychology, engineering, statistics,
geography, sociology, mathematics and physics. Over the past few decades, the field has
reached a certain degree of pre-eminence and recognition, as evidenced by a
successful and influential series of international conferences and associated
books, substantial impact on travel demand forecasting and transportation
planning practice, and distinguished members who receive recognition in their
home disciplines. At the The Lifetime
Achievement Award was unanimously approved by the IATBR Board on May 21,
2003. Guidelines: The individual selected to
receive this award should: 1.
have made fundamental and
sustained contributions to travel behaviour research for a substantial period
(typically at least 25 years) up to the present time 2.
be widely known, at the very
least among the IATBR community, and 3. have influenced the field through her/his writings, teaching, service,
and nurturing of younger professionals. Individuals known
to be at or near retirement from full-time professional service will
generally be given priority in consideration for the award. Award Frequency: The award will be made every
three years, to be presented at the International Triennial Meeting. The
Award Selection Committee may decide to recommend to the IATBR board
consideration of more than one person during each triennial cycle. Award Recognition: The winner(s) will receive a
plaque appropriate to the occasion, a symbolic monetary award of $1000, and
complimentary registration at the IATBR International Meeting at which the
award is to be presented (the latter item will be the responsibility of the
Meeting organizers). Procedure: Selection of the award recipient(s) is the
responsibility of a Committee with revolving overlapping membership,
patterned along the same process as the Dissertation Award Committee. The Committee will have a three-person Core
Group, appointed by the IATBR President, ordered in three positions, where
position 1 is the current chair; upon completion of the selection process for
a given cycle, the chair is rotated out of the committee, position 2 member
becomes the chair, and position 3 moves up to 2. A new Core Group member is then appointed
by the IATBR President for position 3, and so on. In addition to the three
Core Group members, the incoming Chair of the Committee shall appoint two
additional judges for the particular judging cycle. The Committee shall make its selection at
least one month prior to the upcoming IATBR International Meeting; the Chair
shall notify the winner confidentially to make sure that he/she will attend
the meeting. Nominations will be
solicited from the membership of IATBR about one year before the award is to
be made. Self-nominations are not
accepted. The nominator must provide a
nomination letter explaining why the nominee is worthy of this particular
award, and include a current resume.
Nominations should be made confidentially to the Chair of the
Selection Committee; the nominee must not be made aware of his/her
nomination. All nominations and
deliberations of the Committee shall be privileged information, and the list
of nominees must not be made public. LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
